A BRIEF HISTORY:

We are located in the heart of the Downtown Fort Myers River District, adjacent to the Harborside Convention Center on the Caloosahatchee River. Situated in The Dean Building, City Tavern rests on the corner of Bay & Dean Streets. The Dean Building’s roots go back to 1914 when John Morgan Dean built the structure around two existing homes built in the 1800’s.

Downtown Ft. Myers has seen many changes over the years, to say the least. Downtown underwent extreme changes including a totally new streetscape, which was completed in 2009. The latest River District changes include a brand new riverfront basin located directly in front of City Tavern, which was completed in late 2012. The construction of The Luminary Hotel began in 2018 and is scheduled to be completed in the Fall of 2020

City Tavern has been under the same local ownership since August, 2008. While working closely with the River District Alliance, neighboring businesses, and City of Ft. Myers officials, City Tavern is one of many Downtown destination spots in the Fort Myers River District. We welcome everyone to come enjoy a little piece of Lee County history that is, Downtown Ft. Myers!
